Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings gear up for their away game against the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Malik Monk's three-point shooting. While he has shown flashes of brilliance, recent trends suggest a more subdued performance might be on the horizon. Monk has averaged just 0.8 threes in his last five away games, a significant dip compared to his overall average. Sure, he's hit a respectable 2.4 threes against Orlando in past matchups, but the away stats tell a different story-just 1.2 made from beyond the arc. With the pressure of playing on the road and Orlando's defensive focus, it's likely that Monk will struggle to find his rhythm. Betting the under on 2.5 threes made feels like a smart play here, especially since his recent numbers indicate he might not even hit that mark.

Maxime Raynaud (Sacramento Kings) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-123)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Maxime Raynaud's rebounding numbers, particularly the under on 9.5 boards. Raynaud has shown a tendency to fall short of this mark, with an average of just 8.1 rebounds expected in this matchup. Playing away from home, he's hit the under in four of his last five outings, a trend bolstered by the Magic's strong defensive presence in the paint. Over the past four games, Raynaud has only managed to surpass the 9.5 threshold once, and the Magic's ability to box out will make those second-chance opportunities harder to come by. With an implied probability of 55.2% on this line, it feels like a prudent move to back the under as Raynaud faces a tough challenge against a motivated Orlando squad.

Malik Monk (Sacramento Kings) Under 2.5 Rebounds (+107)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Malik Monk's rebounding in this matchup against the Orlando Magic, the numbers suggest a compelling case for the Under on 2.5 boards. Monk's recent performances show a consistent drop in his rebounding output, averaging just 1.8 boards in his last five away games. Even when facing the Magic, he's only managed a mere 1.2 rebounds per game over their last meetings. With the Kings' offensive style prioritizing perimeter shooting and fast breaks, Monk's role leans more toward scoring than crashing the boards. Plus, he's hit the Under in nine of his last 13 away games, reinforcing the notion that he may not be in the thick of the action on the glass. Given this trend and the challenging matchup, taking the Under on Monk's rebounds seems like a savvy move.
